Like was mentioned above about the dead raccoon, my dad told me that they used to throw a chicken into the septic tank to initiate the bacteria bloom. My father has done a lot of things and one of them was being a licensed septic field installer when he did his land development. His license number was #50 for the province of Alberta.

When we built our house, dad put in a temporary system for us until I designed and built our field... it worked for 2 years until we installed the proper field.
